The Client Hints specification covers a lot of this already - https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/#content-adaptation-u... ... DPR, width, and viewport-width are already available in some browsers. Hopefully other hints will be available soon.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, or Why Not to Whitelist Operating System User Agents
As a Firefox/FreeBSD user occasionally annoyed by this nonsense, but not being knowledgeable about modern web standards evolution, I wonder if https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/ will fix this by killing User-Agent headers.

Zen browser had a backdoor enabled by default
If anyone is looking to stick with Firefox-based browsing, I’d recommend vanilla Firefox with arkenfox/user.js [0] and uBlock Origin.

Does Firefox sell your personal data?
Arkenfox has a good user.js [0] you can use. Each comment tells you what the option their disabling is.
I had been putting one together based on it for newer machines (and it worked great), but just now when I went to look for it, I'm not sure what happened to it. Sorry I can't share mine.
If I recall correctly, you just plop the user.js into your profile. You'll want to do it from a fresh profile* and then any time you want to make a change, you'll make it in user.js instead of about:config. What I believe happens is every time Firefox start, it applies all the configuration options specified in your user.js.
